BEIJING, July 16 (Reuters) - China stocks dropped on Friday with consumer shares leading the loss, but are on track to post a weekly gain, boosted by the central bank’s surprise cut in cash that banks have to hold as reserves and hopes for further easing policies. At the midday break, the Shanghai Composite index was edged down 0.02% at 3,563.79 points, while the blue-chip CSI300 index was down 0.34%. The consumer staples sector was down 1.13%, and the healthcare sub-index was down 0.27%. For the week, CSI300 so far increased 1.27%, while the SSEC also added 1.13%. China’s central banks made a surprise cut in banks’ reserve requirement ratio (RRR) last Friday, releasing around 1 trillion yuan in long-term liquidity, lifting hopes for further policy supports throughout the week. Investors’ sentiment was also lifted by better-than-expected June activity data
